Description

A circular arc is defined by the center point, the radius, the start angle and the end angle.

ARC

 

An arc is always drawn anti-clockwise from the StartAngle to the EndAngle.

The StartPoint and EndPoint properties of an arc are calculated through the StartAngle, EndAngle and Radius properties.

The ExtrusionVector is always vertical to the arc. Arc is drawn in the plane that is defined by CenterPoint and ExtrusionVector

 

Remarks

Ways to design an arc:

 

Center Point,Radius,Start Angle,End Angle

With this method user has to set Center Point,Radius,Start angle and End angle of the arc

arc

 

With this method user has to set 3 points of the arc
